Baba Oyo:

Oluwatobiloba.....thank you so much. He was just being himself. He said I ought to be with my family after all the dissapointment we both faced.

I learnt something big from it.

Never discriminate when you can help. You never know who it is that is watching you.

Baba oyo, you know something about this particular post I quoted? My head usually swell whenever anyone mention or write or type my name fully, I sooooooo love it, this is how my hubby use to call me whenever I'm not being myself and he want to take me back to my real self, I just love it when I hear my name in full, my mum gave my hubby that key..........".call her full name when she's angry and she will definitely smile back at you". I'm so happy tonight since ileya day.




RR, you see what you have caused, I can't but thank you for this.
God bless all of us.

***runs off

some people made Hitler their role model before and even after his deeds.
some people make tuface their role model too even after illegally putting various women in a family way.
alot more make psquare their role model even after the vulgar words they use in music. I'm not really someone who notice peoples behavior, I notice people by their relative accomplishments.
To cut long story short _{because I'm taking my dinner sha} it makes me proud to make you my role model and even more proud that I'm the only one who has... I'm..... Am.touched to the spirits, trust me, I'll emulate you.

Baba Oyo: I saw a username. just below now.

Ileobatojo


Am really interested in how you came about it.

Have. an ancient tale about how the phrase Ile Oba to Jo came to be.

I really don't knw much about this baba oyo nd roy,buh am loving dem for reals,sure baba oyo found favour cos e has always been a good man

Royal Roy......... Bless you Ejire.

God bless you RR. I don't know you oo, but I do have this feelings that you are a good person even before reading baba oyo's post. Once again, God bless you.

Ok now I want to know what Ileobatojo mean.

Otherwise...

I will interpret it myself o and my Yoruba is atrocious. whatever you people's eyes see, take it like that o.

Ile - house
Oba- king
To Jo - dance

House of king that dances.

stillwater: Ok now I want to know what Ileobatojo mean.

Ile - house
Oba- king

'Jo' in this case is 'burn'

Ileobatojo (the king's palace that burns), ewalobusi (it leads to more beauty)

*If the king's palace burns, it only leads to the building of a better, more beautiful palace.*

Meaning when something sad/bad happens, it gives an opportunity for a better thing to happen, or something along those lines. Pardon my poor translation!

As to which King's story the saying originated from, don't ask me o. Waiting for baba Oyo to give me the gist.

^^^^^ You tried with your explanation.

Ile Oba to Jo, ewa lo bu kun!!

Literally, it means when the king's house got burnt, it added more beauty to the the king's house.

Realistically, the meaning is simply.....every dissapointment is a blessing in disguise!!!

Back in the centuries of our fore fathers, there was a king in yorubaland who was very good and nice to his people. He had the best of their interest at heart. He was well loved.
Someday, there was a war which ravaged his kingdom and everything got burnt including the palace.

He fled with his people into the wilderness for protection. He was devastated and he fell sick.

In a while, word went round that the Oba who had served his people dilligently was not feeling too well. And back then a king must not die outside his palace.

The people mustered all they had and decided to build the good king a new palace far away from home.

In record time, they built a new palace bigger and better than the one which got burnt. He got extra rooms, extra large compound and new furnitures donated from all the adjoining villages.

The Oba got so impressed and he got well.
The first statement he made after standing from his sick bed was Ile Oba to jo, ewa lo bu si

That was the origin of that statement.

Does anyone know the name of the king in history? Waiting!!!!

Tinkybabe: @Royal Roy,you be geek? Why the professor like spectacles now

You are sha an amazing man,keep up the giving spirit


Baba Oyo,still can't believe this is you-not a single yoruba proverb?please come back with them,I love reading them.

A kò lè tìtorí pé ọ̀nà jìn kí a wà padà sẹ́yìn

[It's crucial that you continue what you started ]

Tinkybabe, am impressed with your computer/phone. For giving a detailed and well written Yoruba with all the signs on it. I must upgrade.
Hmmmm.....Tekinology!!!!! Amazing

Oh! This thread again!
I'm soooo loving it!


What a small world!



It's a confirmation that this world is actually a small place! So, if you like, be nice, if you like, don't, nothing shall be unrewarded.

A'toore, a'tika, okan kii gbe.


May God help us all.

waited patiently for this story,baba oyo,ah wee follow u till I grow old,yoruba ix xo kool ehnn,baba oyo,whr precicsely are you from oyo gan

It's really a small world

Royal Roy thanks for extending your hand of kindness to Baba Oyo...and to think that you didn't know "Alhaji" was a Nairalander who already had an idea who you were!

This just shows that our character, both in the real and virtual world, could go a long way. You never know who the person standing next to you is.

It baffles me how some on here who tag themselves e-warriors could rain insults on another poster just because they share difference in opinions . It may be a faceless forum, but not really faceless afterall.

With RR, you can tell he is a nice guy from his posts. Baba Oyo too, _{to mama oyo and awon omo oyo :p} and that's why they were able to sync in the first place.

Spread the love around!

Food for thought - What do your comments/or posts tell us about you. Think about it.

This is 2 sweet!
Pls more!

I just lv stories like this.

Stories like this restores my faith in humanity. Baba Oyo, do not forget to pay it forward. It's a chain Royal Roy started and it might just come back to you someday.

Its amazing that this man trying to raise money for that young girl and hermother on the other thread showed love to another total stranger. RR, God bless you.

chaircover: On a serious note we have serious issues in the banking system in Nigeria and we just accept it. How can a bank be down for 4 hours!!!!!! They should be ashamed of themselves >

Nigerians pay so much in banking charges and the banks rake in Zillions but get a crappy service and no one cares. The problem is all the banks offer the same service so there is no incentive for them to do better.

I was in a bank the other day and a customer was complaining loudly that the system was down yet once again. I couldn't believe it when the banker turned round and told the man to calm down and doesn't his phone network provider have issues sometimes

Banks should better start spreading the love around . . . nonsense. >
